Contrary to the hip-hop culture of yore, the thing for rappers to do these days is to boast about how broke they are. Last week, Kanye West offered up the information that he's $52 million in debt. This was unexpected. And he's pretty chill about it, basically inviting people to give him money rather than to needy children. 50 Cent declared bankruptcy in July, and since then, has relentlessly promoted his lack of money on Instagram. 50 Cent is doing this by posting pictures with stacks of money. Like so:

The problem is, when you're legally declaring that you don't have the money to pay your debts, then you advertise to nine million followers that you can throw around what CNN Money estimates is $50,000 in cash in one picture, people might start asking questions. In fact, the courts might order you to explain why the hell you've declared bankruptcy. Which is exactly what happen to 50 Cent, whose attorney told a judge on Thursday, "Mr. Jackson has been forthcoming and transparent with all creditors." Yeah, forthcoming about being able to spell out "Broke" in $100 bills. And also transparent about his hatred for Meek Mill.
